I engaged G. Christopher Wright of Shannon & Wright LLP to assist with a complex estate planning matter involving the transfer of a family-owned rental property. As a Best Lawyers recognized attorney in Trusts and Estates and Tax Law, his technical knowledge was evident. He correctly navigated the capital gains implications and helped structure a trust to achieve our primary goals. The final documents were thorough. However, the experience was marked by inconsistent communication. There were several periods of a week or more without updates, requiring me to follow up repeatedly. While his office is in Alexandria, our virtual consultations were efficient, but scheduling them often involved significant back-and-forth. For straightforward legal expertise, particularly on the tax side, Mr. Wright is capable. My expectations for a more responsive client experience, especially given the sensitive nature of estate planning, were only partially met. The work product was solid, but the process felt more transactional than collaborative.
